    I saw that as well. Kellerman isn't too bad, it's just that I'm so used to Merchant. He's a staple on HBO Boxing.

    You don't get nearly as many great quotes from Kellerman as you do from Merchant.

    Today was the first time I actually was blown away at the crap coming out of kellermans mouth. When he said hed like to see a rematch? For what? Cotto would just win again more convincly and more boringly. This was no Taylor_pavlik. I cant remember what else he said though he said he thought it was close, pff, clear cut IMO. Oh and him not being able to recognize that Cotto was not hurt or scared of Mosley but merely just taking the safe road when he had it in the bag that final round. Mosley was the one backing away and holding most of the fight anyway, as much as I like him. IMHO, what a stupid douche, bring back ol' Larry!

    a lot of guys hate kellerman, but an objective person wouldve seen that he did a good job tonight. You guys think Merchant is actually a great commentator, or do you just like him for the entertainment value? I pick the latter, every time he paused I always knew something ******ed was about to spew from his mouth

    I'll always like Larry Merchant but I don't think Kellerman is as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

    YES!!! For 1 main reason primarily, Jim Lampley can nut hug like no other that I've ever heard and for the most part Merchant usually balances out the bull**** because he usually never does nut hug. I like Merchant, he has experience I mean hes been through so many fights he has no reason to be biased.
